Rapid Growth and Brilliant Prospects.
DECATUR. Ala, Sept. %, 1887.
The growth of this city in the last few
months is marvel, even in this age Of as
tOnishing progress. Here has been accom-
plished in six or eight months more in the
way of solid and material prosperity than
in many others Of the growing cities in as
many years. The site Of the city has had
much to do with its growth. Situated most
eligibly on the south bank Of the Tennessee
river. at the crossing of two important sys-
tens of railroad. its location is unsur-
passed Its railroads and the river give 1t
unequaIed facilities fer transportation, and
make il accessible for travellers from all di-
rectiOns.
In the neighborhood of the city are I'M
mense and valuable deposits OF iron and
coal. while all kinds of timber are abund
ant and cheap. Around the city. on both
sides of the river, are as good farming
lands as can be found in the United States.
Add to these delightfully."- genial climate.
remarkable for its healthfulness. and we
find here a combination of advantages
which few other places can offer.
